Comments, bets Thailand vs Vietnam: Powerless on Thai land
In the first leg, Vietnam let Thailand hold a 2-2 draw at My Dinh. This result puts Park Hang-seo's teachers and students at a disadvantage when entering the rematch. To win the championship, the red shirt army must win or draw with a score of 3-3 or more (4-4, 5-5...).
Looking at what the two teams showed in the first leg, it can be seen that this is not an easy task for Quang Hai and his teammates. Because in fairness, Vietnam has competed completely under Thailand.
If the red shirt team did not have a sharp deployment situation other than 2 goals from Tien Linh and Van Thanh, "War Elephants" created a lot of turbulence towards Van Lam's goal. And if the goalkeeper on the Binh Dinh payroll was not excellent, Park Hang-seo's teachers and students would have lost the match at home.
Also, Vietnam rarely has good results on Thai soil. According to statistics, the red shirt team only won 2 times the triumph song, the rest drew 3 lost 5 in the last 10 times as guests of Thailand. In the last match, which took place in September 2019, Vietnam left with a 0-0 draw (World Cup 2022 qualifier).
But saying that does not mean that Vietnam will taste the bitter cup in the second leg. Because it only takes 0-0 or 1-1 to win the championship, it is likely that Thailand will put safety first, prioritizing keeping a clean sheet over finding a goal. It is possible that the second leg will end without a goal, which means that Vietnam wins the handicap.
